LOOKING FOR SOMETHING?

Thursday, March 17, 2011

i don't think that any of us can say we walked away unaffected by the images that we saw on television or online flash before our eyes just a week ago. my heart breaks every time Japan comes to mind whether in conversation or on the news. i'm sure we can all identify the hopelessness that we feel being overseas and not being able to be there to physically help.

but there is something we can do - and it's more than about being silent. the two incredible voices behind utterly engaged and ever ours headed up a movement to assist the people of Japan with donations for supplies and shelter. so on March 18th, i join other bloggers for a moment of silence. we do this for the lives lost but also for the lives living and standing strong in the midst of the current tragedy.

and hey, it's not too late to join in helping out the men, women and children of Japan. to donate or to find out more about this opportunity, visit here. it's an opportunity for us to do something.
